Easy to use, reliable, and simple to expand
We have used the same version for two years, however, now there's a new version, which solves a lot of problems. The solution we use that's from two years ago, has the ARIS Connect Server, the web application, and the ARIS client application. Some things you have to do in the clients, and you can't do them in the web environment. In the new version, though it's not installed by us, it's changed. You can do this. You can do almost everything in the web client. The difficulty that you have with switching between the two environments is solved in the new version. However, I haven't tested it yet. That said, that was one of the issues we had. It's a bit annoying that you have to use two environments in the older version.

A reasonably stable BPM solution useful for process governance and process mining
The look and feel, along with the ease of use of the solution's web modeling version, is an area with certain shortcomings. The web modeling part can be a bit complex or difficult for new users of the solution. Simplifying the look and feel to make the web modeling part easy to use can greatly improve iGrafx.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Ability to use all the features that your catalog has inside the modeling and export it to a BPM augmentation engine."
"They offer a variety of documentation, user manuals, and community forums for users to seek assistance and share experiences."
"Using this solution we can design our own processor governance, assign some specific technical services, and also run tests of the process to make sure it operates as we need it to."
"It's a very easy-to-use product."
"One of the biggest plus points of the product stems from the fact that I have never seen any glitches in it."
"We found the technical support to be helpful."
"Finding the right symbol and creating links, horizontal and vertical are the features I use."
"The solution is very stable."
"The solution's most beneficial feature is the 360 approach, where documentation, process mining, simulation, and automation capabilities are in one solution."
"It has simplified compliance with regulations and company standards."
"Another good feature is that the numbering of the shapes in iGrafx is much easier and more convenient, in comparison to what is found in Visio. So far I haven't found anything similar to what I have with iGrafx, in that regard."
"The solution's technical support is of good quality since they offer fast and seamless services."
 

Cons

"There is a lot of complexity around licensing."
"It's a bit annoying that you have to use two environments in the older version."
"I recognize the product has areas for potential improvement similar to every tool."
"The solution uses a coding language for process design that is specific only to this product. We would like to see this changed to something more universal."
"With iGrafx, the implementation and the licensing were pretty complex."
"Dragging and dropping shapes is not as user-friendly as in Visio. In Visio, it's very easy to work with shapes and in very few minutes you can plot a whole, multi swim-lane, cross-functional process."
"The look and feel, along with the ease of use of the solution's web modeling version, is an area with certain shortcomings."
"The solution could benefit from improvements to its interface. More specifically, when compared to other tools, the process modeling features lack symbols or object types that are used to represent the information or data within the process."
"The price could be more competitive."
"It would be helpful to be able to do more analytics and generate reports on historical documents that have already been uploaded to the server."
"It would be nice to have a Spanish user interface available to us."
"One of the areas in the product with certain shortcomings where improvements are required includes the tool's reporting capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"My company is trying to replace iGrafx because the license is a little bit expensive."
"I have heard that the solution's pricing is very competitive."
"Earlier, the licensing part was complex because there were so many modules and elements in the tool. Over the last one and a half years, a lot of work has gone into how the product has priced and positioned its tools in the market."
"The licensing part is one of the problems. Its licensing depends on the number of users, so it sometimes gets expensive."
"Our license is a subscription-based model that is per user. The solution is not expensive, I believe a subscription-based model is $10 per user."
